3.1 General

Sections A to F refer to wiring diagram 3.3

Each unit has its own letter code which is divided into section numbers.

A Filter, Voltage supply

For filtration of the 42 V AC a standard LC--filter in a metal casing is used. The filter

is bolted inside to the rear wall of the tower, close to the cable bushing. The screen of

this cable is connected to the same bolt.

Filters of different makes were used – PE and Corcom – both designed for 1 A/250 V.

OutIn

B Filter, motor wire feeder

From serial no. 0644 a second filter (like “A”) is bolted inside the tower. That’s for

filtration of electrical noise from the wire feeder motor. It‘s the upper filter in the tower.

4 CONTROL UNIT _ CARRIAGE “D”

4.1 General

The controller consists of 2 circuit boards, the main board MMC231 and the voltage

supply board LPW123. The circuit boards are mounted in separate aluminium frames

which are bolted together.

These are insulated from each other by plastic washers. It is important to prevent

electric current passing through the chassis to the switch regulator for the voltage

supply board, which is bolted to the aluminium frame.

The main board is bolted through 6 spacers and shimmed with 3 mm diameter plastic

washers to give the correct spacing between the switch and the front panel. The 2

central nuts are also insulated using the same type of plastic washers.

LPW123

MMC231

The main board consists of a m icroprocessor ( μP), a drive unit for the display, a

display switch and a drive unit for the motor. The microprocessor is an OTP version

and therefore cannot be reprogrammed. When upgrading to a new software the

complete microprocessor must be replaced.

When replacing the microprocessor use the correct to o ls and

wear a p ersonal earth device.

4.3 Component location, supply board LPW_123

4.4 D1.1 Rectifier, Voltage supply

The inputs are protected by a 1.6 A “fast” fuse. A 10 ohm NTC r esistor ( R0) limits the

current when the voltage is switched on.

R1 is a varistor that protects the board against a high input voltage. T he varistor

short-- circuits at voltages above 50 V AC, the current through the fuse rises sharply

and the fuse blows. Occasionally the varistor may short circuit, with the result that the

fuse blows as soon as you connect the supply voltage again. T he varistor is easily

replaced by cutting the legs close to the casing, then unsoldering the legs

individually.

The input filter consists of C1, C13, L1 and L2 plus C2 and C12.

The diode bridge, D1 and D7, rectifies the input voltage, which is around 60 VDC at

42 V AC. The voltage from D1 is fed to terminal 13 on terminal block “K1” and to the

motor transistors on the MMC_231 board. D7 supplies the 5 V and 24 V regulators.

K2_3

K1_15

The 5 V voltage supply is based on a switch regulator, dimensioned for a max.

current of 1 A .

The base voltage (+ 60 V at 42 V AC) from rectifier D7 and capacitor C3 supplies the

regulator with voltage .

The regulator switch outputs a voltage with a frequency o f 100 KHz which is

smoothed by choke coil L3 and capacitor C10.

D6 is a schottky--diode which protects the regulator’s output .

The regulator has a feedback input which monitors the output voltage, via a voltage

divider R12+R13/R11.

Output voltage should be min. 4.9 V and max. 5.1 V .

The regulator is bolted on the aluminium frame and insulated from the frame with

plastic washers.

4.6 D3 Motor driver

Drive The motor is driven by the base voltage from the voltage supply board

(around 60 V DC at 42 V AC supply) and is controlled by 4 MOS--FET

transistors that are connected to an H rectifier bridge.

Speed The microprocessor generates a modulated pulse width signal. This pulse

width corresponds to the programmed speed, port A4 connection 30. This

pulse--modulated voltage is then smoothed to DC by a RC filter (R17 and

C5), and is fed to a OP amplifier that is wired as a “voltage follower”, i.e. a

circuit that is used to keep the voltage at these two inputs constant. The

second input is a filtered voltage from the motor output. This feedback signal

is split by a voltage divider (R9/R10 across R14) and smoothed by C3. The

zener diode D20 (4.3 V) protects the input against too high a voltage.

The output from the OP amplifier (a pulse width signal that also varies in

frequency) controls the opts witches D16_1 and D17_1. These then pulse the

MOS--FET transistors T6 and T7

Direction The direction of rotation of the motor is determined by which of the

“diagonals” in the H rectifier bridge is conducting – either T7 and T8 or T6

and T9. Ports A5 (connection 29) and A6 (connection 28) are controlled by

the microprocessor.

Braking The motor is braked when transistors T6 and T7 short--circuit the motor . This

is also controlled by a pulse width that is varied to ensure smooth braking of

the motor.

Protection To protect the motor from overload the microprocessor monitors the motor

current. This is read as the voltage drop across shunt R15 (0.47 ohm) and is

filtered by a RC filter (R16 and C4). Zener diode D21 (4.3 V) protects the

input against voltage overload.

The upper control unit ( Travel unit) provides the start/stop function for the wire feeder

by means of a relay that is connected between terminals 4 and 5 on the terminal

block.

The relay is mounted in a socket midway along the length of the main board.

Port D2 (connection 22) from the microprocessor goes high (+5 V) and opens T13

via resistor R28. The resistor has been selected to limit the current through T13 so

that the voltage drop across the r elay coil is 15 -- 20 V.

The relay output can carry up to 0.5 A. To limit the current on the relay contact, a

500mA PTC (R29) is connected in series with the signal.

The relay is secured to the socket with a piece of foam placed between the top of the

relay and the power unit.

4.8 D5 Start / Stop switch

Miggytrac 3000 has a start/stop switch on the top of the tower. The start is green, the

stop is red. Both switches are NO and are connected between terminals 6, 7 and 9 of

the upper control unit (D).

Terminal “9” is +5 V to both switches. Terminal “7” is start input and terminal “6” is

stop.

5 CONTROL UNIT “C”-- WIRE FEEDER

5.1 General

The wire feeder unit is based on the same circuit board as that used for the carriage

control unit. T he control units differ only in a few components and the microprocessor

software that runs them.

The circuit board for voltage supply has a 24 V output (terminal 16) that supplies the

gas valve and the start relay.

+ 24V+ 60V

K1_16

K2_2

The 24 V voltage supply is based on a LM317 series regulator (IC1), dimensioned for

a max. current of 0.5 A.

The base voltage (+ 60 V at 42 V AC) from rectifier D7 and capacitor C3 supplies the

regulator with voltage.

The regulator has a feedback input (pin.1) which monitors the output voltage, via

voltage divider R8/R9. R7 is not mounted. D5 is an over voltage protection for the

reg. output pin.

Output voltage should be min. 22 V and max. 26 V.

The regulator is bolted on the aluminium frame and insulated with plastic washers.

5.5 C2 Output gas valve

The lower control unit (wire feeder unit) provides the on/off function for the gas valve

by means of an “open collector” (0 V) output (T12) that is connected to terminals 3 on

the terminal block. T he gas valve is a 24 V DC solenoid and the +24 V is connected

to terminal “16” on the supply board.

This output is controlled by the uP and from the frontpanel it’s possible to program

the time for “pre flow” and “post flow” (the time the gas valve opens before welding

start and close after welding stop).

Port D3 (pin 23) from the microprocessor goes high (+5 V) and opens T 12 via

resistor R27. The T12 (BC337) is a NPN--transistor 50 V -- 0,8 A.
